Written by on May 4, 2022
An Ikeja Domestic Violence and Sexual Offences Court on Wednesday sentenced a 54-year-old pastor, Michael Oliseh, to life imprisonment for raping his friend’s 12-year-old twin daughters.
Delivering judgment, Abiola Soladoye described Mr Oliseh, the assistant Pastor of the Anointed Chosen Vessel Ministry in Okota, Lagos, as a “serial rapist” who took turns raping his friend’s daughters.
She held that the prosecution had convincingly proved the charges of defilement against Mr Oliseh beyond any reasonable doubt.
The judge sentenced Mr Oliseh to life imprisonment on the two-count charge bordering on defilement.
She said, “The testimony of the defendant portrayed him as a serial rapist who took turns to defile the survivors.Adding that the sentences should run concurrently, adding that the convict should have his name entered in the Sex Offenders Register of the Lagos State Government.
Mrs Soladoye also berated the parents of the survivors for lack of discipline by sending the survivors to stay with the convict.
It was gathered that five witnesses testified at the trial and five exhibits were tendered. The prosecution said the offences violated Section 137 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2015.
